Answer:
c
Step-by-step explanation:
The trial and error method is used to find an initial factor:
If we let f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 and all we have to do is sub' in values of x until
f(x) = 0, we can use this to find an initial factor by the factor theorem:
f(1) = (1)³ - (1)² - 24(1) - 36 = -60
f(2) = (2)³ - (2)² - 24(2) - 36 = -80
f(5) = (5)³ - (5)² - 24(5) - 36 = -56
*** f(6) = (6)³ - (6)² - 24(6) - 36 = 0 ***
f(6) = 0 so (x - 6) is a factor of f(x).
This means that: f(x) = x³ - x² - 24x - 36 = (x - 6)(ax² + bx + c).
To find a,b and c, use long division (or inspection) to divide x³ - x² - 24x - 36 by x - 6.
The other 2 factors of f(x) can then be found by factorizing the
ax² + bx + c quadratic the way you would with any other quadratic (i.e. by quadratic formula, CTS or inspection).
Y= 4 - 4/5x all you have to do is make it go up 4 from 0 and either go down 4 and go right 5 or up 4 and to the left 5... hope this helped!
1st : Find the volume of the rectangular block:
12 × 10 × 20 = 2400 cm^3.
2nd : Find the volume of a cylinder

Where r is radius & h is height.
so:

= 76.02654222 cm^3
Lastly, divide the volume of the rectangular block by the volume of the cylinder
2400 ÷ 76.026 = 31.5679226
You can't round it up so the answer is F) 31
